NOTES

1. V-Topper is made in one piece from lower back edge, up overshoulders and down to lower front edge.

2. When work reaches armhole, sleeve chains are added to each end

of row to form base of sleeves.

3. When work reaches neck, stitches are left unworked for back neck,

and the fronts are worked separately until neck is shaped. Then work

continues in one piece down to lower front edge.

4. Dc rows are worked in the back loops only. For added stability,

work the first and last st in both loops.
